if i gave my heart to you

on new years, my brother proposed to his girlfriend (we'll call her melodie, just so that we don't get confused). it was their four year anniversary, and my family and melodie were all in england for a cousins wedding. romantic time of year, i'll be honest!

my whole family is a huge fan of melodie. she's nice, funny, and smart. (there's a reason for this story, don't you worry!) now, since they are both in their early twenties, and have only recently aquired steady jobs, they've decided to wait 'til august 2011 for their wedding. absolutely brutal.

but, the amazing thing is, i get to be a bridesmaid!

since it's an august wedding, melodie would like her wedding dress to not be full length, but to be longer than her knees. i'd never heard of this length of wedding dress, so i went in search of one! have you ever seen a dress about that length? let me know, i would really like to find one for her! i haven't yet found her the perfect dress, but i have found one for me! now, i can't copy the picture, but if you'd like to see the prettiest dress ever, click here.

while discussing with melodie what she wanted to do for the bridesmaids dresses, she said that she thought it would be really cute to do like what happened in sex and the city... where at

carries wedding, her three bridesmaids had different coloured dresses. now, i was blown away by this idea, but i love it! so i discussed with melodie who her bridesmaids were, and what color she'd want them to wear. there are four of us, my sister and i, and melodie and her two sisters.

we decided on this...

i would be wearing navy blue,

my sister would be wearing a dark green,

melodies twin sister would be wearing gray,

and her older sister would be wearing yellow.

now, you may not think that these colors would all go well together, but i definately see potential. if melodie doesn't do this at hers, i'll probably do it at mine. and i already found the bridesmaids dresses for my wedding too! it's designed by vera wang.

oh, i can't wait to get married. all i need now is a boy!

and now, i'm off downtown to go to thrift stores and antique stores to see what i can find! i'll let you know about my buys!

xxo.
